Outstanding examples of Musicianship

All this negativity towards Amy Winehouse got me thinking that there must be a better way to show how we all worship music and musicians.

This thread is for everyone to show their own favorite examples of absolutely superlative musicianship. Find your best youtube example of your hero musician playing an instrument like nobody else can. I am looking for some of the most exceptional examples on the planet - any genre.

Here is an example

Musicianship, no.

By the way, I love the game.

Shadorne, I'll try to mix in other genres. It occurs to me that many may not know just how good Amy W. was; so many dismissed her as a modern no-talent drunk. So here is another tribute to her talent. Please, just giver her a chance to impress.

Orpheus, and everyone, check out the first link of this live performance of Amy before the drunkeness and drugs took over:
Amy W. "Stronger Than Me"

Amy W. "Love is a Losing Game"

I have one or two discs of Gene Ammons in my collection. Very lovely.... I also love their use of reverb. Don't think I have "Boss Tenor".
